Alone in the Dark
Lowe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Touch me with impact
Shattered, still intact
Broken, a lifetime
Tainted, I waited so long

I hear the angels call
The sweetest song of all
You make the shadows fall
When I'm alone in the dark

Hold me, near you
Kiss me, I need you
Now fill me with nothing
Take me to where I belong

Touch me (hold me)
Kiss me (leave me)
Alone in the dark
I hear the angels call (hold me)
The sweetest song of all (kiss me)




You make the shadows fall (leave me)
When I'me alone in the dark
